Vision

Esoterika is a Lodge of Master Masons that openly works to advance the tenets of our Craft. We have made it a priority to promote and cultivate in our membership a greater level of interest, involvement, and participation in the concordant and appendant Rites of Freemasonry. Those who have gathered to form Esoterika Lodge have made a dedicated effort to travel within the fraternity, and further their Masonic education and experience.

Esoterika Lodge is an environment, a vehicle, a habitat if you will, designed for the purpose of generating excellent Masons. Masons who from the very beginning of their entrance into the Lodge, are impressed upon to take their chosen and accepted journey into the society and culture of Freemasonry, very seriously.
